Self-tlofenso is the plea upon which John Uouso bases Ills hope of sav lug his neik He ndnilts that he Htittck his father, hut claims ht did it to save himself; he alleges that he was utged to lice by Ketninlsky and leaves it to be liifotie'd that some one, most likely Iteinlnlsky, dealt his father a thlid blow with the last and Indicted tho live stab wounds after the old mun lay sti etched unsensible on tho Hoot. lU-mlnlsKy's iclatluns with Mis Gouso, Ills anxiety fot young Gousu'.s night, nnd his subse quent lajlng of the blume on Gouse ate held to be sulllclent to Indicate that lteminlsky desired the death ot the old man and that he cunnlngb effected It at a time when the suspicion would readily fall upon anotlict. "When the trlul opened yesterday morning e-County Suiveyor A. 13 Dunning, jr., went on the stand and explained the dlagtam ho had made of tho Gouse basement, i)olntlng out the room from w lilch Scr'appa clulms to have w ltnesed the inut tier and show lug thut It would have been possible to see what wus going on in ft out of the door of old man Guuse's loom fiom a posi tion in tlie toom vvlieie Sciappa slept. Sciuppa was leculled to point out the exact position he occupied but the in tp was unintelligible to him and nothing definite could bf gained ftom him. lX-Cotonef Kelly was recalled nnd reiterated that the stab woundb wore only supeilltlal; that tho lung was not uunctuied by the ftactured libs and that in his opinion tho blow on the head caused death. HEMINISKY OX Tim STAND. The pieviously aroused mutdeier Jo seph Heinlnisky alias Joseph Kemlchf skj, was next called to the stand. He said he did not see Gouse strike his fnthei but Goube told him that he had, In a saloon boon after he lied from the scene. He taw Gouse again at the Thomas Vv'elks house eaily in the train ing Gouse asked m hat was the news Witness told him that he had badly ln Juied his fathet and that he would get all his It lends In ttouble Gouse then told witness that his father had m ulo him mad and that he had given him something he would lemembei. Wit ness was nt the Gouse house when the fatltet thteatened to have tho son ar rested tuili In the night. "Witness then went tor beer. When he tetutned joung Gouse was putting on a clean slilit and was telling ills mother he would line to llee. At the tequest of Gouse he accompanied him down the toad This was the flist Intimation he had of what had happened. Hemlnlfaky was subjected to a long and sovoie cios-examlnatlon by Mi. liulentlne The di inking during the nf let noon nnd eailj evening was again descilbed at length. Witness and jounr Gouse sat down to supper at i) o'clock. Tliete was nothing for them but cold meat. Gouo complained of the food und scolded his mothei for being diunU and neglecting her household duties Old man Gouse angtllj chide d the son for talking that wav to his mother and thteatened to bend foi a constable and have him attested. The son delled him, saving he vsas not afinid ot the constable. Witness went out to get some beer later in the night und when he lelutned joung Gouse was ptepai ing to llee after having assaulted his fathei. The witness admitted that he owed old man Gouse $5J but denied that lie had any quattel with him about it. He denied that he lushed into the room and stabbed old man Gouse aftei the son had felled him with the shoe l;st. He wont out In a saloon with joung Gouse after the cilme and on the way bark Gouse admitted that he had sti uclc his fathet. Gouse went In and kissed his father's hand and then left again. COMMONWEALTH RESTED. After olfetlng the hon last-holder in evidence the coinmonweulth tested, fousaunah Weiss was tecalled for ctoss exatnlnation by Mi. Ballentine and stated that she had tecelved a letter ftotn joung Gouso three v.eeks after the minder but denied that Gouse himself letutned. Mr. Balentine in his opening for the defense said he did not expect tho juty to convict Gouse ot murder of either the Hi at or second degtee, and that he would be suipted if thty convicted him of manslaughter The defense, lie said, would stand foi acquittal on the giound that the law Fays when a man Is assaulted and beaten until he does not Know which way to turn ho has a light to sti ike down his assailant, even though that nssallant be his father Gouse would not contend, ho went on to say, that he was di utile on the night In question, for he was not, and he would not deny that he stiuek his fathei with the lion last-holdet be cause he did sti ike him twice and with such a weapon The old man was ovel Blv feet tall, muscular and powertul. When the son remot.stiated with him foi the di inking and carousing that was going on in the house, tho father caught him by the tin oat, diagged him Into the bed loom, threw him Into a coinei and beat him Hemlnlsky w as present all the time, he said, and it was at his uiglng that Gouse lied. The defense would ptove, he said, that Remluisky and Mis Gottbe wete criminally Inti mate; that this was a subject of fie quent contention between lather and son, and consequently it was imptob able that the son would conspire with Hemlnlsky to kill the old man. IMPOSHIHLE TO SEE. County Suiveyor Haiti, the fltst wit ness called, exhibited a diagium of the house and bwoie that It was an impos nihility for a peison to see Into the loom wheietho muidei was committed fiom any point made from the loom where Sciappa slept. Adolph Klaus testitled that when Sciappa came out of the bed room that night he asked what tho tiouble was saying he had been asleep and did not hear anything of the quattel. Sciappa again told him, two days after the af fuir, that he did not see the assault Thomas Munley, Jacob Wagner, Fiank (iiiughan, Mrs. Gaughun, Adolph Klaus, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Weiss und Mi. and Mrs. Anthony IJoehenskl gave ohuructer testimony, all stating to the best of their knowledge that Gouse wus a qulot and well-behaved boy. Mr, and Mrs, Joseph Geimnrda, of Potest City, with whom Gouse sought shelter after Ueelng from Aichbuld, testified that the defendant hud a swol len face ami wns otherwise cut and biulHed when he came to their Iiouro. Then the defendant himself was put on the stand. He wan on from :i 10 tin til 4.45 o'clock. Ho told his Rtorv in a stralghtforwaid way, In faltly good English and never made a single mis step dining the entire lecltnl, He told that he was botn In Poland twenty two jeais ngo nnd came to this coun try with his parents w lion 11 yeais ut nge. They llrst lived -ut Alden nnd then successively at Wilkes-Hart e, Catliondnle, Peckvllle, Catbondule again, Forest City, again at Caibon dole, Aichbald, Plymouth, then at the Hldge and then back to Aichbald. The Jeason they moved so often wus that the father would get diunk nnd lose his Job. He was continually di Inking and lighting and sweating and the mothei wus Just ns bad. Once he left them und went to New Yolk to wotk In n hut factory, but they wtote for him to come back and he did. EVIDENCE NOT ADMITTED. After an unsuccessful effoit to ad duce evidence (onceinltig the relations between Mrs. Gouse nnd Hemlnlsky, Mr. Ballentine dltected the defendant to tell tho stoiy of the day on which the ttouble occuiied. Gout-e went on to say thnt he came back fiom a chestmittlng tilp at about B o'clock In the aftetnoon and found his father and mothei and the three others mentioned dt inking and caious- V 1 - 1 - i , , d I -' h c 11 '1 -'" '' A--W here tho blows were struck-.

They had a callon of beer and a quart of whisky on the table and utter finishing that sent out for two quatts moie of whlskv. He diank during the evening two 01 thiee glasses of whisky. He asked his mother about 9 o'clock to get him some suppei. She gave him nothlnty but cold meat and he com plained, saying she had better attend to hei woik and stop her dt Inking. The father scolded him lor talking that wav to his mother and thie.itened to get a constable and have him attested. Hemlnlbkl later went for moie beer and as the night ptogressed tho dls tui banco incteased. Witness cautioned his father about the nulse und told him he had ought to know better than dls tutb the nelghboib. Later the father and Hemlnlsky had a quattel about some money and wtness again inter feied and told his father thut he had bettei wait till the next dav when he would be soLet and then settle with Remlnlskv about the money. This tin on the old man into a rage. He was standing Just at the threshold of his bed loom door and as the son finished speaking the elder Gouse gtabbed him by the tin oat and dtugg Ing him Into the- bed loom thiew him down in a cot net and kicked and beat him. Then the sou leached for the iron last-holder and hit his father twice, once on the shoulder and the second tine on the head. DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL. When the w Itness had llnlhed de sctlblng how the stuiggle hud occuned he turned to the Juiy and said: "Gen tlemen I hit de fodder, but I didn't mean to kill him." Witness then told that he went out by the fence and riled. He didn't sleep In the house that night becaupe Hemln lsky told him his lather would kill him if he went back. Witness and Hemlnls ky went to a saloon together. Hemlnls ky told him to wait theie foi a few mo ments. He waited foi neaily a quatter of an hour and when Hemlnlsky did not 1 etui n he went back to his home. Aftei Hemlnlsky again cautioned him against his futhet's angei he went to the house of Thomas Weiss. Hemlnlsky followed him theie and tried to Induce him to llee 'fiom the town offeilng even to loan him his shoes and tolling him that his father had the constables nftei him. Mis. Gouse also came to Weiss' liouse and asked the son who stubbed the old man.

Hurtl, and had Gouso show tho position of Sciappa und of himself and his fathei during tho strug gle, with a view of proving that It was Impossible for Sciappa to see the en counter f 1 0111 the bed loom in which he slept. Gouse claimed thut when he left the house nftci -ti Iking his father the doot Was open but when he letutned shottly nftetwards it was sh'ut, showing that someone had been In tliete In the mean time. Ho denied emphntlcnlly that hu how tho stnb wounds vveie Indicted. Mr. Hillentlne asked him If any thing had ever oecurteil to cause him to believe that Hemlnlsky nnd his mother were criminally Intlmnte, the put pose of the question being to -show that the witness could not have entered Into a eonspltucy with Hemlnlsky to kill his father und to alto show that Hemln lsky would deslie the death of Mis. Gouse's husband. Mr. Jone.s objected to tho quostlou.nnd court sustained the objection. . ON CHOSS EXAMINATION.

ITS CONSTRUCTION IS DIFFICULT At One Plnco tho Sewer Will He I.nld nt a Depth ot I'itty Tcet mill It Will Ho Necessary to Tii!iiiol--lroposed Sewer Will Drain n Territory Km bracing Three Hundred nnd Slxtj Acres of Lund. City Engineer Joseph Phillips has mudo an estimate ot the cost ot the main Uunk fcower to tun from the Lackawanna ill or to Luzetne and Twentieth Mtec'ts near Keyber vullei, and is intended to dttilu a tenitory west of Main avenue which has given the board of health untold tiouble for years Tho tiouble glows woiso as the1 dlstilct becomes mole thlcklj popu lated and councils leallze that some thing must soon be done to put that legion In a mote sanltniy condition. Tho city engineer estimates that tho total cost of the Impiovement will be $o",000. The sower will lie somewhat difficult to construct fiom an engineer ing point of view. There Is a stilt grade fiom the Lack awanna river to Main avenue which would lender that pait of tho work cotnpaiativoly easy, but west of Main avenue there is arso a. down giado. in other vi otds Main avenue is the apex of an lldge and to sower the dlstilct west of It the sewage conveyor must pa.ss under that thoiotighfaie. The measutements and llgures in the possession of the cltv engineer show that the sewer will have to be llftv feet below Main avenue to get a pioper pitch. As It would bo Impossible to dig a ditch that deep a tunnel will have to be consttucted tunning from Tenth to Foutteenth stteet, a distance of about 2,300 feet. The gieat depth of this main sower will make It necessiuy to lay laters over it with which the house connections can be made At bhort In tervals conectlons between the lateral and main sewers will bo mude. At tho Lackawanna river the sewer will be 3'xr) feet and will bo constiuct ed of btlck. As it etends back it will decrease In sl.se and befote It leaches Twentieth sti ret a teira cotta pipe will be substituted for the btlck atch. Thole aie two spuis which ate con sidered by the engineer as patt of this main sewer. One will run ulong Ninth stieet from. Lu7eine to "West Locust und the other on Metldlan, Hampton and Sixth avenue fiom Luzuine to West Locust stieet. The ptoposed sewer will drain a ter lltoiy compilslng 1C0 acres of land which contains 1,020 lots. No decided action has been taken by councils w 1th legaid to tho constiuctlon of this need ed impiovement, nor will there be until the city engineer has ptepaied Ills plans and an estimate of cost which will bo done In the near futuie.
